Archery elk hunts take place September 1st through the 30th from a wall tent camp on the Bighorn National Forest that you can drive to. Camp is located on the scenic Tongue River drainage at 7,000 ft. Meals are served in a 16x20 cook tent. You will stay in a 12x14 wall tent with a floor, custom wood stoves, lanterns, and XL padded cots, which make for a comfortable stay. Our guides are experts in locating a bugling bull and then getting in close and calling him in, making for one of the most exciting hunts in North America. Spot and stalk, blinds, and tree stands are also used to arrow bulls. Pick-ups and ATVs are used to get to hunting areas, and then you will be on foot. Being in good shape on this hunt is important and will make your hunt more enjoyable. Bulls average 280 to 320 on these hunts, with the opportunity for bigger bulls. These are 1x1 guided hunts. Shot opportunity is 90% to 100% most years. If required, we have horses available for packing your elk out. We guide in units 37, 38, and 39, which take 5-13 preference points to draw most years.
The preference point system is designed to improve an applicant’s odds of eventually drawing a high-demand license in Wyoming. Seventy-five percent (75%) of available licenses in each hunt area and license type are allocated to the preference point drawing. Applicants with the highest preference point ranking will receive priority in the preference point drawing. How to apply for an elk tag in Wyoming?

Rifle elk hunts in Wyoming take place Oct. 10-Nov. 5 from the same wall tent camp as the archery hunts. Some bugling action can be expected during the first week of hunting, with bulls breaking off into bachelor groups throughout the season. You will spend most of your time glassing from vantage points, trying to locate a big bull. Sometimes, we are lucky enough to catch some bugling this time of year, which makes for an exciting hunt. Weather will be a factor during the hunt. Cold and snow always help. All elk are resident elk and are always in the area; snow and cold just make them more visible. Bulls will range in size from 280"-320" with 350" plus bulls in the area. Hunter's success rates have averaged 75% with 100% shot opportunity most years. These are 2x1 hunts. We primarily guide in unit 38 during rifle season, which takes 9+ preference points to draw.
